Trying to lose weight in the Philippines is a whole different game 😩

Okay but seriously,,, is it just me, or is trying to lose weight here 10x harder than anywhere else?
Like...

• Rice is love, rice is life (but also why my pants don’t fit)
• You say “no” to lechon and suddenly you’ve committed a crime
• You try to track your calories and your tita’s like “Bakit ka nagda-diet? Wala ka naman sa hulma ng model.”

And when you do start making progress, the guilt kicks in especially when you’re not eating with everyone else. Even looking into GLP-1 meds like Ozempic or compounded semaglutide gets side-eyes, or worse, “Ay nako, pampapayat lang yan ng mga artista.”

I ended up finding this community r/WeightLossPhilippines that honestly just gets it. No weird flexing, no shame, just real stories from people trying to make things work here. With budget limitations, food pressure, and all.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting results or like no one else understands what it’s like to say no to extra rice in a Filipino household just know you're not alone.

Laban lang!!!
